Re: 2019 Cosplans!

Hey guys!
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I have concerns about my cosplan for LAGC this February. I want to bring Doug from Gangsta. who is a light skinned character with dreadlocks. I'm a white kid and not sure if it would be okay for me to wear a dreaded wig? It's no big deal where I come from but I know there can be huge differences between countries and cultures. I won't be darkening my face or anything like that, I just want to make sure I won't make anyone uncomfortable wearing a dreadlock wig.

While personally I don't see much issue with people with white skin wearing dreadlocks, I think there will always be someone who is bothered by it. That being said, people may care less if it's a cosplay?
I think there will always be somebody who has an issue with any given cosplay, so it's kind of hard to differentiate between what's right and not sometimes.
TLDR; I think someone could potentially be uncomfortable with any cosplay so it's kind of up to you really. Sorry I know this isn't that helpful >_>

Re: 2019 Cosplans!

I wouldn't have any problem even if you darkened your face lol. But there will always be retards who don't understand it. You don't mock or disrespect black people by cosplaying as a black character. You spend hours preparing the cosplay because you love the character. Just do your cosplay and be proud of it. You can let me know if any retards harass you because of that and I will try to deal with them in a peaceful manner.

thank you for your reply, I will probably just go with a plan B then (I really don't want to stir up emotions, we all come here to have fun and I wouldn't wanna ruin someone else's fun) c:
